Interesting. Thanks for the info. Hopefully, that setting will be included in the next official/officially-leaked Dets as well. Er... now if we only knew what all those beautiful curves actually mean...

maybe nvidia hope people will turn it on for benchmarking and be too distracted to notice lots of extra IQ hacks?

I can almost hear the nVidia line now: 'Don't use unreliable tests like Fraps or timedemos that just want to make our products look bad, use our own built-in benchmarking tool for the optimum benchmarking experience on the GeForceFX." :eek:

I would say that they are measuring framerate, memory throughput, and shader throughput. Possibly voltage or temperature too.

These are merely debugging features built into a number of specific driver versions to allow developers to profile and optimise their products. Other software tools are available also. These profiling features are only compatible with specific hardware.
